...instead of being united in the fight against that, they are at each others' throats over whose religion is the perfect one

Oh, and thirdly:
Can you tell me why YOU "getting" at OUR throats over our religious vision being integrated with our political vision is apparently A-OK for YOU to do...
...but if some of US take umbrage over how others have merged their religious vision with their political vision...
...(I mean, what? You haven't seen all the Mormon "White Horse prophesy" threads about how the Lds will rise up & save our constitution?)...
...then what we say is relegated by YOU as "useless crap" deserving of "no useful business"???

Isn't that a wee bit on the inconsistent side? (I mean, if we're all just supposed to be 100% tolerant of every religious belief out there...well, at least if it's adhered to by a block of so-called "conservatives"...then doesn't that imply that YOU are suppose to be tolerant of OUR religious vantage points, too? Or have you joined the leftist doctrine of "tolerance for thee but not for me?" crowd without even knowing you're an effective proselyte of it???)

Wanna explain why your irreligious vantage point on the dynamics of faith & politics somehow holds some kind of "trump card" posture over other positions?

Did you ever notice with Anne Coulter's book Godless how she carefully showed that -- despite all claims to the contrary -- even atheistic liberals wind up being zealously religious in their worldview? You see, even a supposedly "non-religious" claim that faith & politics should generally be separated is in and of itself a decidedly "faith-based, religious" worldview -- based upon whatever authority you claim as your guiding light.

So I'm interested in knowing what authority you appeal to in stating your position to be one that garners respect?

Another novel? Be honest - you’re just screwing around now, right? This is some kind of avant-garde satire or something?
